Activity: Running
Distance: 5miles
Notes:
1m warmup; 3m @ 8:57 pace (1% incline); 1m warmdown
My first threshold workout post-baby. I was totally dreading it. I hated them when I was in-shape and really hate them now. I struggled at first but finally found my rhythm halfway in. Unfortunately mommy duties called as soon as the run was over so I didn't ice or stretch like I should. And now I am feeling it.

Activity: Cycling, Core w/ Stability Ball and stretching
Time: 30:00, 20:00
Notes:
First time back on the bike since baby. The places I thought would hurt didn't and the places I didn't expect did. Go figure. I had no idea that you used your core so much sitting on a bike but my screaming abs are telling me loud and clear.

Activity: Running
Distance: 2.5miles
Notes:
.5m warmup; 4x400m @ 7:53 pace w/ 200m walk rest; remainder cool down
My first interval workout in about a year. I was both excited and apprehensive. Thankfully it was 400s which is my very favorite interval workout. Probably because I have fond memories of 90s quarters in high school (chasing a 12:00 3200) and 20x400m in college (chasing a sub 19 5K).
The workout went off without a hitch and it even felt a little easy.

Notes:
Nice hike on the Buckeye Trail with the fam. I carried the baby in the Bjorn so I'll count that as strength training. That bugger is growing like a weed.

Time: 59:34
Distance: 6 miles
Pace: 9:56
Splits: 10:19,10:04,9:56,9:45,10:03,9:29
Notes:
Today was my first workout for my HM training. The plan called for 10:40 pace but I ditched that and ran on feeling. Basically I was looking to run a touch over comfortable. It was hard to get going but it fell together halfway through. I didn't mean to run the last mile that fast but it just happened.
Based on today's workout I am in 2:04 shape. I'll probably base my intervals on 2:00 pace to make it easy.

I felt like garbage today and ended up canning the planned 40 minute run. I walked home with my tail between my knees.
